Hey Mike, thanks for another great video. Definitely gonna be able to use this technique on my layout!! Well last week, you told me you have a face for radio lol!! I guess all of us wondering what you look like should I put a current timeline on the request! Anyway, that was great. Thanks for sharing! U R A pissa!!

Nice tip Mike. You have helped me with several of your modifications to my postwar style layout. I know I can always count on you for usefull innovations for the postwar electrical accessories on my layout because you take the time to figure out ways to make those adaptations those of us have questioned ourselves. Keep up the good work. It's as if you can read my mind. Thanks to you I use a single pole momentary pushbutton switch from Menards to active my control sections taking up a small footprint on my console. I came across your video on this modification just as I was installing these on my layout I'm in the process of building.

Thanks for the video. It is always nice to see a practical hack of old Lionel track on how to do something you would like to do. Pre made track pieces don’t always work for what you want to do.

This is a pretty clever idea. Although as someone who wouldn't personally cut up anything that's out-of-production, I would wonder if it'd be possible to do something similar using the modern track produced by Atlas, or perhaps improvising the electromagnet from scratch.
@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks
Жыл бұрын
You certainly could, but I paid on average $2 each for the 6019 pieces because the original wires were broken and few people know how to repair them (because they don't watch my videos! ;-) ) Even the parts for a DIY magnet would cost more than that.

Curious if just putting an electromagnet under the track would work? If it was strong enough, no doubt it'd pull the plungers.
@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks
Жыл бұрын
It's theoretically possible. But I paid roughly $2 a piece for these 6019 sections at a show last year, and it's highly unlikely I can purchase and or build my own electromagnet for less than that!

Great video, is there a way to set up a switch for the plastic tab type of couplers? i.e. NON magnetic. I have a Pennsylvania Flyer set circa 2003

You MIGHT be able to add a metal thumbtack to the existing coupler tab to enable magnetic uncoupling.

FasTrack would require a lot of slicing and dicing of the roadbed. It would be easier to buy (or make) a separate electromagnet and install it where you need it on FasTrack.

Actually if you are this handy, you can make your own electric magnet, with a steel center (nail) and coated coil winding wire. Either count turns or measure the resistance of one you have and the coil wire size and you are good to go. Partly why I mention this is that center rail spit getting closer to the outside rail, can cause some problems on the curves especially with the 6 wheel trucks and the fat wheel older engines. PS: if you had the dremel you could have just slit the rail down the center and spread it and put in the electromagnet.

The Seaboard 6250 was made in 1954-55 and has electronic coil couplers. There should be a pickup shoe under the truck that picks up power from one of the UCS or 6019 control rails for uncoupling. kzitem.info/news/bejne/ynh7zZaImJtpl20si=eY0z6asN5bPBC3Mw
